 3        Be  it  enacted  by  the People of the State of Illinois,

10    be used to provide or reimburse the cost of meals at an event
11    sponsored  in  whole  or  in  part  by  the  State beyond the
12    following per person  limits:  $10  for  breakfast;  $15  for

26    anticipated personal gain of another person.

27        Section  10.   The Fiscal Note Act is amended by changing
28    Section 4 as follows:
 
                            -2-                LRB9200881MWpk
 1        (25 ILCS 50/4) (from Ch. 63, par. 42.34)
 2        Sec. 4. The note shall be factual in nature, as brief and

 7    investigation,  it  is  determined that no dollar estimate is
 8    possible, the note shall contain a statement to that  effect,

10    given. The note shall also contain all background detail used
11    in  completing  the   note,   including   all   calculations,
12    assumptions,  averages, and time frames used. A brief summary
13    or work sheet of computations used in arriving at fiscal note
